  • Greasing balljoints???

    Hi all, still being a relative newcomer to the Surf I've no idea whether it's true or not, I've been told its possible to grease the front balljoints and maybe some other suspension components. This guy tells me that I can remove some nuts on the suspension, replace with grease nipples and lubricate the balljoints etc then replace the nipples with the nuts and job done. I have no idea if any of this is true or not but would welcome any advice or info on this subject. Cheers in advance.

    You want M6 nipples for the balljoints.

      As Matt suggests, don't just do the ball joints - you'll find lots of nipples (oo, err) under there.

      I redone mine a few months back. Under the truck a few days ago I noticed lots of lovely moly grease oozing out just where its supposed to. It gives you a nice warm feeling in a smug kind of way, ahhhhhh......

        Cheers for your response guys. I did the prop shaft a couple of months back, but needed to know more about the balljoints before attempting them. Any chance of any pics or pointers to previous posts that may be of any use. Cheers guys. Sorry I missed the link guys disregard this post.
